All Decked Out

Christmas is a season and not just a day. Christmas begins at sundown on Christmas Eve and lasts until Epiphany on January 6. This Sunday will be the 7th day of Christmas. Part of our getting ready for Christmas was decorating our homes. This week we’re going to talk about decorating our lives. As we adorned our homes with trees and lights…and garland…the really important thing is to adorn our lives with the attributes of Christ. Our text is Isaiah 61:10 through Isaiah 62:3. God talks about the gift that is given in the person of Jesus. When we accept him into our hearts we live for him. In very real ways we become part of God’s gift to the world and our lives can be a gift back to God too. Come this week and we’ll explore together how to decorate our lives in ways that will make us a gift from God to the world and perhaps even back to God. Be sure to invite your friends, neighbors and even strangers you meet along the way…they’ll all be glad you did!
